They are responsive, responsible, and truly seem to care for our dog, Roland. We appreciate the photo updates and that they tell us if something is off. Roland loves Jessica, as evidenced by his reaction whenever she arrives. Previously, we'd been using another walking service in the area and didn't receive the same level of care. Another reviewer mentioned that you have to pay by check, but they allow PayPal payments as well. We're so glad to have found A Bark and A Meow!

Kate and her staff at My Kind of Hound have been invaluable to us. They both regularly walk our…read moretwo dogs and have house-sat them when we have left for short vacations. The simplest thing I can say is that we trust them completely -- and when our dogs (which are family to us) are in their hands, we have no worries. What separates Kate from other dog walkers or dog boarding places we have tried is somewhat of an intangible: she exudes kindness and care and the dogs pick up on that immediately. And she seems to have chosen staff who share that quality as well. One of our dogs, who can be rather difficult and shy, took to Kate and other staff instantaneously. As other reviewers have noted, she is super-flexible and willing to focus on whatever quirks or skills you want to emphasize.

They are always able to deal with our last minute changes. They are always understanding and don't make us feel like jerks for requesting a last minute walk.

After that I am a costumer for life! lol

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!…read more EJ runs a first class business. I used her for my first time for a 3 week international trip. I was a bit neurotic and asked that she e-mail me every other day so I could relax while on my dream vacation which she did. My babies and vacation were both perfect and I've since used the services of Smooth Pooch four more times. I am so delighted and relieved to find someone who cares for my kitties as much as I do when I'm out of town. EJ is 100% reliable and has a beautiful way in which she interacts with animals. I highly recommend Smooth Pooch!

I will definitely continue to count on her services.

Her duties included feeding, cleaning the litter boxes, and providing love and attention when we were away. A good indication of feline satisfaction is how long it takes the cats to warm up to us when we come home. The fact that we get instant love and purrs says that they were indeed happy. (One time, when we used a different agency, we were "treated" to 45 minutes of complaining upon our return.) In addition to taking care of our "babies" Jennifer goes above and beyond. She straightens up the area around the litter box, takes in the mail, and in general, makes sure the house is safe. I recommend her unconditionally.

DO NOT BOARD YOUR DOG HERE!…read more We boarded our dog here for a weekend this past summer at the last minute when our usual place (The Barking Lot) was booked. All Phases had been featured on the WB and if you check out their website, it really looks like a cool place for your pet. They have 'do it yourself' stalls for shampooing your pooch, a treadmill for your dog and the feel of the place seemed more like a home than a kennel, which we liked. We came home from our trip and drove over to pick up our boy at 6pm (they were supposed to be open until 7pm) When we arrived, the doors were locked and all you could hear was barking and howling from within. We waited in the parking lot for 3.5 HOURS and NOBODY ever showed up. On their website they say "The Dogs are fed by 7pm, and let out at 9PM." That was complete bullshit as we were there from 6pm until 9:30pm and not a soul came in or out of that door. We kept calling and leaving messages on the answering machine, but to no avail. We ended up driving home, sick, angry and worried about our dog and nearly ready to call the police. (As a side note, this place is located in a strip mall directly adjacent to a liquor store - so all sorts of unsavory types were stumbling around all night. Nice.) Now, it's possible this could've been a scheduling error - and that is what we were told. That some guy named "Caesar" was supposed to be there with the dogs and he wasn't. And they actually blamed us for not telling them the exact time that we were coming to pick up our dog - which was an out and out lie, as we HAD told them when we dropped him off to be boarded. When we finally did pick up our dog (at 7:30am the next morning), he had a scab on the top of his head and some scratches near his privates. This led us to believe that the dogs were not very well supervised - yet another broken promise from their website. I cannot speak for the obedience classes or grooming services offered at All Phases, but boarding is definitely not their strong point.

A bit of a sad story but I had to leave my bulldog with a…read morefriend because he was not fit to fly :( We have always had dogs in our lives and all sort of different breads but my wife favorite is the Bulldog, so we just had to fill that missing something in our life and get a new puppy, which we did from a breeder in North Carolina. Like I said we and both have had dogs all our lives and I have always dealt with training them myself. Now I am no Cesar Millan but I just read a lot about training and put in the time with the dog and seem to always work out pretty good, Until Rooney our new Victorian Bulldoge puppy. Total Nightmare!!! I know you thinking health issue but my wife is a vet tec and we had him checked out.. So we started with trying to find a dog trainer, Sounds easy right, think again!! We went through about 4 "trainers" until I meet Adrian from all phases. This guy is wicked, everyone that meets my dog can't believe how well trained he is, I am so pleased with the result that Adrian achieved that I am buying a second dog from his one of his upcoming litters. I am really blowing his trumpet but I can honestly say, the guy is the best trainer in the states, If you don't believe me look him up on different website's and youtube. He is highly decorated in so many different aspects of dog training and showing and protection. I don't really write review (I should start reading this over this one) but we was playing around with yelp looking for different stuff, and came across Adrian reviews and I know there are good ones but there is one negative one, and all I can say is that this may be true but rest a sure this guy is a true pro and your dog is in great hands!! Thank you for everything Adrian and cant wait for my new pup to arrive.

We originally planned on…read moreJayne staying overnight for one night at our house when I had my baby but we ended up needing another night and additional walks. Jayne replied to my husband's message almost immediately and was able to take care of our dog, even on just hours notice. She took excellent care of our pooch - he even slept right next to her! We also received a report card at the end of her stay, which detailed their walks and playtime. Jayne replies very quickly to emails asking about availability, as well. She has made it possible for us to go out of town and feel comfortable leaving our dog at home in her care. She takes the time to understand the unique needs of our pet and make sure he is treated just as we would treat him. We highly recommend Jayne and Topdog!
